Screen is very grey compared to my old SGS2, why? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey.
Screen is very grey compared to my old SGS2, why?
I got this sgs2 a few days ago and after that I immediately put hydrogen rom on it, and now I decided to go back to gingerbread. When I went back I immediately noticed how grey it was, for example when you press the settings key and get the options such as "Wallpaper, Setting, Edit" options, that is light grey, where it is suppose to be dark grey.
Someone know how to fix this?
I took a picture of this, but in the picture it looks FINE, but in real the screen is grey!!
Whats wrong?

Looks fine to me.... How about reflash, a stock rom. Or check screen mode.

I had it happen after a rom flashing. Try rebooting. That solved it for me.

Ya same thing with me. Reboot does not solve issue.....

Also the colors seem fine on any AOSP ICS rom like cm9 or hydrogen aokp.......but when going back to gingerbread the colors are off again

Problem with phone.... help

Ok heres whats happening....
first of all, my phone is rooted and i have the latest super clean and kernal.... this has been happening on a variety of kernals and roms tho..
Randomly, out of nowhere, my phone reboots. (maybe this is normal, the kernal is crashing?)
the problem is that once it comes back, i seem to be missing some system applications like my contacts app (whenever i click on contacts in the phone, it crashes, and i dont have a contacts app to click)
and sometimes, my phone Settings app.... if u try to click menu on the home screen and click settings, nothing happens..... and i cant place widgets..
I have to reodin the phone completely and start from scratch....
This happens like once every couple weeks or so....
any ideas?
Try flashing it again w/ data/cache/dalvik wipe

i cant enter the phone to download mode
i see on the screen the icon with the mobile and computer
Has this problem happened to others or is my phone defective

It sounds like some of the apps may be incompatiable with the verison you're using. I had a somewhat similar problem when first getting into roms. It may be worth going back to stock and then reflashing to the latest SC.
Not sure.. If it was just a compatibility problem I think it would not work right away... The problem I'm having is random after a spontaneous reboot

Try fixing it by flashing stock rom then re root > rom install > cwm
Here's the guide I made

I9100 Touch Key LED fail after new Rom Flash!!

I have been using My SGSII with a few different Roms starting from stock 2.3.3 to Leomar 2.4 and Batista70 3.5 for a while now and when I flash batista70 3.5 Returns Rom last night everything worked fine except I notices my Menu touch Key led twitching and or not turning on at all while the back key is full lit. Sometimes it would come on after the phone was in sleep and I slide to unlock the phone but the led was really dim and not visible at all. I have tried wipe cache & dalvik cache as well as full data factory format reset and reflash of the Rom and it still didn't light up right. I flashed an Official Samsung i9100XXKG6 firmware and after boot and pressing *2767*3855# still the led stays off. If anyone can help me I will really appreciate it. I just hope it isn't a hardware problem..
Had this with my Acer Liquid. Had domething to do with kernell. Try going back to stock. 2.3.3

That feature can be adjusted in settings on most rom, I have mine turned off. Look in display

I tried flashing back to stock 2.3.3 and I went in boot loop so I had to flash KG6. I tried many different Kernel it still had this problem..

I see the feature in display settings but it only lets me turn both off or both on or 1.5 sec or 6 sec. I use BLN notifications so I need them to be on 1.5 or 6 seconds. The problem still persist in either settings.

Mine is the same. I should think its the software and not hardware related.

Must be the touch driver crashing....
*clean your screen, fluids tend to crash touch driver and like you mentioned locking, wiping the screen and unlocking will get it working.
If that doesn't work
*maybe it's because of some app you use crashing/colliding check and see you may might have to try un installing the apps which you installed or updated when the problem started to occur.
*if above two failed try performing a factory reset might help .
*finally flashing a new stock firmware will correct the problem if all above methods failed.

Well.....I think you have just found the answer to your question
Remove it and see if it's all good. If not, returning time it is, don't even bother go flashing firmwares. It's a brand new phone.
Good morning. Guys i was thinking that my screen protection isn't a problem because if i lock the screen and i open it again all works. And sometimes when i'm typeing a text message or i'm on browser it seems to type by itself and i'm looking scared .
p.s : i flashed a new stock rom(4.0.3) , i wiped it and i did all i could. the problem is still there.

Then we might be talking hardware (faulty screen).
